The Los Angeles Chargers overcame some key injuries to win their biggest game of the season last week, and it sounds like there is a good chance they will have all hands on deck for another important matchup in Week 16.
Wide receiver Keenan Allen suffered a hip pointer in the Chargers’ comeback win over the Kansas City Chiefs, and he is considered week-to-week. Melvin Gordon has missed the past three games with a sprained MCL. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, both players should be able to suit up against the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday night.
Chargers believe there’s a legitimate chance that three key injured players – WR Keenan Allen (hip), RBs Melvin Gordon (knee) and Austin Ekeler (neck) – all will be ready for Saturday night’s game vs. Ravens, per source.

The Chiefs and Chargers are both 11-3 after Thursday’s game, but Kansas City holds the tie-breaker with a better division record. The final two weeks of the season will determine who ends up with the No. 1 seed in the AFC and home field advantage throughout the playoffs, so the Chargers could really use both Gordon and Allen against the stingy Ravens defense.
